(a) Yet another Beraisa states 'Chazakah li'Kehunah, Nesi'as Kapayim v'Chiluk Geranos v'Edus'. 'Edus' is not a Chazakah, so how do we try to interpret the Beraisa in a way that resolves our She'eilah (whether 'Ma'alin mi'Nesi'as Kapayim l'Yuchsin or not)?
(b) We refute this proof however, by explaining the Beraisa to mean 'Edus ha'Ba'ah mi'Ko'ach Chazakah'. What does his mean?

(a) And we illustrate the current interpretation of the Beraisa with the case of a man who came before Rebbi Ami. What happened there? What did Rebbi Ami rule?
(b) How did Rebbi Ami know that he was not a great man [who is sometimes called-up first even when there is a Kohen [though nowadays, this is not done])?
(c) This ruling is based on the Gemara in Gitin, which says that when there is no Kohen, 'Nispardah ha'Chavilah', which simply means that, when there is no Kohen, one does not call-up a Levi at all. What else might 'Nispardah ha'Chavilah' mean?
